Modeling and Characterization of a Self‐Sensing Soft Hydraulic Muscle
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.This article presents the self‐sensing soft hydraulic muscle (SSHM), a novel soft actuator capable of simultaneously sensing force and length without external sensors. A comprehensive model accurately predicts SSHM behavior, validated experimentally with minimal errors. Using propylene glycol enhances durability and reduces hysteresis.

Recent advances in boosting interfacial bubble dynamics with external fields
Droplet, EarlyView.External physical fields, including acoustic, magnetic, thermal, mechanical, and optical stimuli, accelerate the entire bubble‐dynamics sequence of nucleation, growth, and detachment. Abstract The efficiency of industrial electrocatalytic reactions depends not only on generating gaseous products but also on their detachment from the catalyst surface ...

Emergent Freestanding Complex Oxide Membranes for Multifunctional Applications
Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 16, 17 March 2026.This review surveys freestanding oxide membranes and covers fabrication and three pathways for studies and devices: strain‐free and strained membranes, and van der Waals‐integrated heterostructures. We show how coupled oxide responses map onto these routes and cross‐couple to expand behaviors.
